APPARATUS FOR SPINNING AND DOUBLING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 742,555,

dated October 27, 1903.

Application filed October 4, 1902. Serial No. 125,893. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS AsHwoRTH, a subject of the King of GreatBritain and Ireland, residing at Urmston, near Manchester, in the countyof Lancaster, England, have invented new and usefullmprovements inApparatus for Spinning and Doubling Cotton and other Fibrous Substances,of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements on the subject-matter of a priorpatent for the United States of America granted to me, bearing dateOctober 5, 1898, No. 613,106; and the object of the present invention isto prevent the oil employed for the lubrication of the bolster cupbearings from becoming sudded or formed into a frothy state; and l dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of my said invention, which will enable others skilled inthe art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying sheet of drawings,a'nd to the letters ofreference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure l on the drawings is an elevation, and Fig. 2- a partial verticalsection of so much of the spindle and its adjuncts as is necessary toillustrate my invention. Figs. 3 and 4 are detached elevation and planviews of a certain portion thereof hereinafter more particularlyreferred to.

ct is the spindle; b, the cup-shaped llier with its wharve c; and d isthe bolster, which supports both the spindle and the iiier and is madewith an oil-cup e and an inner tube f and fixed in the rail j, as usual.

For the purpose of my invention I introduce into the interior of theoil-cup e (which is made of one piece with the fixed bolster d,

as usual) a short. loose tube or sleeve (see also detached views, Figs.3 and 4) and having a flange g at its lower end fitting the interior ofthe oil-cup e and resting iiatly upon the base thereof.

The cup-shaped iiier b revolves closely at top and bottom on theinternal tubefof the bolster and is provided with a wharve cfor thedrivingband,the lower side of the wharve being just above the oil-cup eand the lower boss of the said wharve passing inside the oil-cup, `andthe tubular extension GX thereof revolving freely inside the short loosetube or sleeve g, above mentioned, prevents the revolution of the lowertube of the lier b from sudding or churning the oil in the cup e into afrothy state.

Iclaim'as my invention- A bolster, having an oil-cup with an internaltube a spindle supported in the bolster, a cup-shaped iiierl having awharve and a tubular extension surrounding and rotating on said tube andresting within the lower part of the oil-cup, and a loose sleevesurrounding the tubular extension of the liier and within the oil-cup,said sleeve having an outwardly-extending liange, fitted within andresting flatly on the bottom of the oil-cup, whereby a small concentricchamber for oil is secured surrounding the tubular extension and thesudding of oil is prevented, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

THOMAS ASHWORTH.
